Often semi-precious stones were decorated with collar fasteners (yaka-chylbyrs). The fasteners were sewn to the sewn standing collars, dressed on the neck separately from the shirt. Hasite, a bandage, was dressed over her left shoulder under her right arm, and various coins, multi-colored stones and a Quranite were often seen on Hasite. Chulps with coins decorated the beautiful hair of Tatars. As a rule, Tatars braided their hair in two braids, into which they weaved cholps. Each ornament during the movements of the woman made a sound by which the walking Tatar could always be heard sooner than seen. "The cholps ring a little bit, a little bit, say the cholps: "Don't forget, don't forget."
